"Some users": Every single person on my team and at my company.
We've got one team member saying its fine, but she's very lonely on there!

#64One fun thing we discovered an outage or two ago: Zoom, which is likely already on your computer too, has a very Slack-like Chat feature. Open up the Zoom app, then click the Chat icon in the top header. You probably missed it this entire time. You can make rooms, DMs, animated gifs, the works :)
Please don't encourage the use of Zoom, they already have enough market share they don't deserve after lying through their teeth to the public on multiple occasions.
They can tell me they're the second coming of Christ as long as they make televideo work better than all the crap alternatives.

#65Down for me. Using the browser.
Browser fails with the same message: Something’s gone awry and we’re having trouble loading your workspace. Sorry we can’t be more specific – this is one of those cases where we don’t know what’s gone wrong either. A restart of Slack might help, and you can always contact us. ps. restart of slack in browser? wtf?
Somewhat OT, but I love the phrasing "Something's gone awry", so much more elegant than the usual "Oops, we dun made a bad".

#68The cool thing about Slack (and Discord for that matter) is that it's essentially federated on a technical level. SlackHQ controls all the instances, but the UX is very achievable by an open source alternative. I'm bullish on federated chat in the next few years. It would be awesome to have essentially the same experience as using Slack, but also a server running on our lab's hardware that we can reboot/debug ourselv…
If you want federation, I would suggest you don't use the "essentially federated" Slack, but the actually federated Matrix.

#69Things like this remind me how dependent I am on IM for doing any work, which is weird because it doesn't feel like that should be the case. If you were to measure the raw number of seconds I spend sending IMs, it would be a relatively low percentage of my day, but I always forget how vital that percentage actually is. As it stands, while I'm not fully blocked from being productive, I am blocked for a lot of work tha…
Reminds me why we intentionally avoided tying core biz/dev workflows to Slack. :)

#70Slack client is down on my Windows 11 desktop, but up on my Windows 10 laptop. Mobile app also works fine.
I'm putting my money on an expired certificate in certain client app versions.
